BIG-IP® Local Traffic Manager™ VE
Gain the flexibility of a virtual Application Delivery Network
As organizations increasingly realize the benefits of virtualization within and across data centers, supporting application delivery with a dynamic infrastructure is more important than ever.
With BIG-IP Local Traffic Manager (LTM) Virtual Edition (VE), you can take your Application Delivery Network virtual. You get the agility you need to create a mobile, scalable, and adaptable infrastructure for virtualized applications.
Like the physical BIG-IP LTM appliance, BIG-IP LTM VE is a full proxy between users and application servers, providing a layer of abstraction that secure, optimizes, and load balances application traffic.
Flexibility and performance
You can deploy both virtual and physical BIG-IP LTM components to create a fully flexible and adaptable Application Delivery Network. This hybrid approach ensures your architecture maintains high performance and scalability while meeting the changing needs of your virtualized environment.
Dynamic cloud infrastructure
For cloud providers and organizations implementing enterprise clouds, BIG-IP LTM VE provides maximum agility to scale quickly and support applications as resources are needed. You can use BIG-IP LTM VE to apply specific application policies on a per-customer or per-workload basis to meet individual business priorities.
Rapid development support
BIG-IP LTM VE is ideally suited to lab and QA environments, where network, security, and application teams can quickly deploy virtual instances to test how applications and networks will respond in a production environment. You can also evaluate advanced server offload, security, and acceleration functions without incurring the capital and management costs associated with a physical appliance. BIG-IP LTM VE is available as a free trial for test environments.
Tight platform and product integration
BIG-IP LTM VE is part of F5’s comprehensive application delivery architecture platform, so you can leverage the flexibility and control of the iRules scripting language and iControl API. BIG-IP LTM VE operates in tight integration with F5’s broad product portfolio and supports solutions from other leading virtualization companies such as Microsoft, Oracle & VMware.
